Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 42: Late Night Talk

Late at night, inside a luxurious bedroom. A beautiful woman could be seen sitting in front of a large mirror wearing a purple nightgown and gently combing her silvery blue hair.

Behind her, on a king-sized bed, a handsome black-haired man was sitting, watching her actions tenderly. But as they continued talking about something, his gray eyes flickered in astonishment and he asked. "Is that true?"

"Do you think I'll lie to you?" The woman seemed annoyed by the man's question.

"No, no. I didn't mean it like that, Lumine. It's just I never expected you guys would encounter such things on a simple dungeon run." He immediately clarified, afraid of angering his wife.

This person was none other than Ronald. Just now, Lumine told him all her experiences of the day. Ronald, who went out because of the guild's matters, didn't expect something this big to occur.

But fortunately, everyone was safe.

"You were too reckless. You shouldn't have allowed Luis to enter without proper preparations." Ronald said in a reprimanding tone. But he didn't blame her that much. He knew this was an important step for Luis' growth. If he protected Luis from all the dangers, he would never grow.

But he was still worried about them so he couldn't help himself. Lumine understood Ronald's feelings, so she quietly listened and didn't argue.

To be honest, she also felt it was rather reckless of her. If Luis hadn't completed the test, he might have died and she couldn't have done anything.

She couldn't bear the thought of losing her son. This time she had learned her lesson, and she thought of something to safeguard Luis. 'I should find some protection artifacts for him.'

"Even you weren't able to break the barrier? I can't imagine how strong the strength of the Ghost King would have been." Ronald said with a hint of curiosity.

"I didn't expect Luis to be interested in old legends, and he even managed to find a legacy," Ronald said with a thoughtful expression. Then shrugged and continued, "Doesn't matter. As long as he is alright, everything is fine."

"Do you know about the Ghost King and his legacy?" Lumine asked.

Shaking his head in denial, Ronald replied. "No." Then he continued, "The forbidden records of the church are confidential information hidden from the public. It is something they try to hide from the outsiders."

"Though if I try to pressure them. It won't be difficult to get access."

Ronald's words made Lumine puzzled as she questioned, "Then how did Luis get his hands on them?"

Yes, how did Luis get access to those records? If he tried to use the family's status to get access from the church, Ronald would have known about this matter. This made her wonder what means Luis used.

Ronald was silent for some time, then finally uttered, "I think I know how he did it."

"Really? How?" Lumine asked curiously.

"... He has an A-grade Technician talent. Maybe he hacked the church's private server."

The private server of the church is not as secure as Mana Bracelet technology, but it's still not something that can be breached. But with Luis' talent, it might have been possible.

Hearing Ronald's analysis, Lumine pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm, maybe, but I don't think it's as simple as it sounds."

"Why do you say so?" Ronald wanted to know her reasons.

Lumine walked up to the bed and sat beside Ronald. She had a serious expression on her face as she said, "You don't know Ronald. The whole time during the dungeon run and the legacy test, Luis was extremely calm and collected. As if everything was in his calculations. He didn't fluster even for a moment. He knew exactly what to do and how to do it. It was as if he had experienced everything before."

Although Lumine has a playful side, she also finds some things strange.

"Would you have been so confident in front of a D-rank monster when you are just a Rookie G-rank awakened, moreover it was his first time fighting monsters."

"That kind of confidence can only come with experience or if you have enough knowledge about the enemy."

"In the battle, Luis always had the upper hand. The entire fight was under his control."

Lumine had a lot of speculations and felt that her son was becoming even more mysterious.

*Sigh*

Heaving a sigh, Ronald said.

"Let's leave it at this, shall we? There's no point thinking about this matter."

Seeing Lumine's dissatisfied expression, Ronald explained his thoughts.

"Luis is our son, and he is a genius. There's no need to think too much. So what if he is mysterious? It's good that he is growing stronger. We shouldn't question him. Let's just observe him quietly. If he finds himself in trouble, then we will be there to support him."

Lumine nodded in understanding it's not that she wanted to pry into her son's affairs, but she couldn't help her curiosity.

Remembering something, she once again opened her mouth to ask.

"By the way, do you know if Luis had a special relationship with any girl before Alicia?"

This question was unexpected by Ronald.

"Why do you say so?"

Lumine hesitated but finally said, "He is too good at handling Alicia. He seems used to handling girls."

"Oh that, you think too much." Ronald dismissed Lumine's thoughts and, with a smug grin, he continued, "Isn't that obvious? He is my son. Of course, he is good at handling women."

When Lumine heard Ronald's narcissistic words, a tick appeared on her forehead. She was annoyed, but instead of rebutting, her lips curled up and a playful smirk appeared on her beautiful face.

"Is that so?"

"Of course." He replied instantly.

Lumine wiggled and stood on her knees. She pressed him on the bed and climbed on top of him.

"In that case." Saying that, she mischievously licked her lips.

Ronald suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and, sure enough, the next moment he heard her continue.

"You shouldn't have any trouble handling me tonight?"

"I... I..." Ronald wanted to say something, but Lumine put her delicate-looking finger on his lips and said in a provoking tone.

"Are you going to back down now?"

What can he do? Both of them are S-rank but who asked him, a mage, to fight against his swordswoman wife in a physical battle?

*Ugh*

Ronald gritted his teeth and decided to fight hard. That entire night, even with a powerful Overlord rank physique, he fought a tough battle that drained him dry.
